Road Atlanta has hosted drift racing events for several years. While Drift Racing has grown in popularity in the last decade or more, drifting is really nothing new. If your car's rear end has ever swung around on a wet road, and you've struggled for 50 feet to get control, you've drifted. Even in car racing drifting is pretty much old school.…

I have been covering the Gathering at the Sonic on Riverside Drive in Lawrenceville, GA off and on for several years. I always enjoyed the cars, the company and friendship of the young people that gathered there every Thursday night and the diversity of the groups.
